Walter Koenig, who played the spirited Russian crewman Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek TV series, has died aged 90. The actor was a mainstay on the show as the eager and earnest navigator of the Starship Enterprise, from season two in 1967 until it ended in 1969, later reprising his role in the six original cast movies from 1979 through to 1991. In the mid-late 1990s, Koenig portrayed a very different character, the ruthless Psi Corps telepath Alfred Bester, in another sci-fi space opera, Babylon 5. His Star Trek co-star George Takei led the tributes on social media on Monday, writing: "Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend." Representatives for Koenig said in a statement given to the BBC: "Today we mourn the passing of Walter Koenig, whose talent, warmth, and unforgettable performances left a lasting mark on generations of fans around the world." They confirmed he had died "of old age at home in North Hollywood" on Sunday night, "surrounded by his daughter and niece". Koenig's Chekov added heart and humour to the adventures of the crew, led by William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk. Takei, who played Hikaru Sulu, added: "Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course." Born in Chicago and raised in Manhattan, Koenig was the son of Soviet Jewish immigrants whose family had lived in Lithuania. He studied at the famous Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York, alongside the likes of James Caan, Christopher Lloyd and Dabney Coleman. His big break came as the capable young Chekov, who would often joke that everything was invented in Russia. The character was introduced to appeal to younger audiences, with his Beatles/Monkees-style mop-top haircut. But Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's studio also publicised the role as a response to criticism in Pravda, the main newspaper of the Soviet Communist Party, about the lack of a Russian character. This was a claim Koenig later denied. The show, which aired during the Cold War and Space Race between the US and Soviet Union, imagined a future in which nations worked together to explore the galaxy, and Chekov's Russian heritage fitted that ideal. Koenig once said that the character's purpose on the NBC show was to "set out the bones of the plot and let McCoy, Spock and Kirk fill it in", according to the Hollywood Reporter. He was arguably more integral to the movies, being nominated by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror for his work on The Wrath of Khan (1982) and The Voyage Home (1986). Koenig's seventh Star Trek film appearance was a brief one in Generations (1994) - mainly a next generation film - and he later voiced President Anton Chekov in the modern series Star Trek: Picard in 2023. He also wrote an episode of the original show's animated series spin-off, in 1973, titled The Infinite Vulcan. A published author, Koenig's other on-screen credits included Columbo and Futurama. Earlier this year, his performance in the short film Mr Fleischmann saw him collect the Platinum Award for best actor at the 2026 Independent Shorts Awards, in recognition of his craft and career. He married Judy Levitt, who appeared with him in three Star Trek movies and Michael Straczynski's futuristic space opera Babylon 5, in 1965. And they were together until her death in 2022. The family suffered a personal tragedy in 2010, when their son Andrew, who played Richard "Boner" Stabone on the ABC sitcom Growing Pains, died by suicide aged 41. Koenig is survived by their daughter, the actress and screenwriter Danielle Koenig, who worked on the animated series Star vs. the Forces of Evil. She was married to Jimmy Pardo, who appeared with his father-in-law during a Star Trek-themed episode of the short-lived GSN series "National Lampoon's Funny Money". .

Peggy King, a television star and singer who rose to prominence in the 1950s, has died. She was 96. King died Sunday after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, her publicist Alan Eicher announced. She had been residing at the Saun ders House assisted living facility in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. King was best known for her appearances on The George Gobel Show from 1954-57, where Gobel nicknamed her “Pretty Perky Peggy King.” She won an Emmy in 1955 for best female singer for her television work. She also co-hosted the 1958 Emmys. Throughout the 1950s, King appeared on numerous variety programs, including The Bob Hope Show, American Bandstand, The Steve Allen Show, The Jack Benny Program and The Perry Como Show. She also guest-starred on classic television series including Maverick and Dragnet. King signed a contract with MGM in 1952, leading to a singing cameo in Vincente Minnelli’s film The Bad and the Beautiful in which she performed “Don’t Blame Me.” She then appeared in the 1955 horror-comedy Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. As for as her music career, King performed “Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)” at the 1955 Academy Awards. After Columbia Records executive Mitch Miller signed her to a long-term contract, she released two best-selling albums, Wish Upon a Star and Girl Meets Boy. DownBeat and Billboard named her best new singer for 1955-56. Composer Arthur Hamilton wrote “Cry Me a River” for King, but Miller refused to let her record it. King later performed the song throughout her career. Born on Feb. 16, 1930, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, King graduated from Ravenna High School in Ohio. She began singing on the radio in Cleveland before joining bands led by Charlie Spivak, Ray Anthony and Ralph Flanagan. In 2010, King was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia Hall of Fame. She also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Feb. 8, 1960, among the first group of honorees. In game shows, King was in episodes of The Name's The Same, I've Got a Secret, What's My Line?, Pantomime Quiz, Make Me Laugh, The Jukebox Jury, and To Tell the Truth. King was married three times. She is survived by her daughter, Suzy Rudofker, and her son-in-law, Dwain Goforth. |

After Warner Bros. hit The Vow with a cease-and-desist earlier this month, Chris Harrison has addressed the legal drama. The former Bachelor Nation host, whose new dating show premieres Nov. 11 on Fox Nation, said it felt “personal” after Warner Bros’ recent letter accusing the reality show of copyright and trademark infringement in a teaser released last month. “I don’t see them going after the 50, 60, 70 other relationship dating shows that have come on in the time that I was there or since I left,” Harrison told USA Today. “There’s been one show that they’ve gone after. Is that a coincidence? You be the judge.” In the letter, Ahassim Rashid, VP and intellectual property counsel for Warner Bros Entertainment, called out the alleged unauthorized use of the studio’s IP in the teaser, citing images of red rose petals “falling in the background with text in the foreground,” noting that WB had licensed that motif to third parties for separate advertisements and promotion. Rashid also objected to the use of the words “The Bachelor” in the teaser, followed by the image of a man in a tux holding a rose. Also cited was the image of a “mansion in the background meant to evoke the iconic ‘Bachelor Mansion.'” The letter added that the teaser “represents a plain attempt to capitalize on and ‘ride on the coattails'” of The Bachelor. In response, Fox News Media’s executive VP and general counsel Katherine Moran Meeks contended that Warner Bros’ attorneys “wrongly assume that Warner Bros. holds any intellectual property rights whatsoever in a falling roses motif or in the words ‘The Bachelor’ when used colloquially to describe a single man.” Harrison’s upcoming dating show comes after he parted ways with the Bachelor franchise in June 2021, following his support for a contestant amid controversy over a racist photo she previously posted. |

Anika Rashaun, the Reality TV star who appeared and competed on MTV’s The Real World and The Challenge and later became a professional matchmaker, advice columnist and dating coach, died October 1 of breast cancer. She was 34. Rashaun’s death was announced by friends on social media. Cyndi Rich wrote on Facebook, “Anika shined so bright. Being close to that light as one of her closest friends was a true blessing. She is a vibrant soul. I’ll love her and treasure the 16 years of memories forever.” Rashaun’s friend Tiara Ramos wrote that Rashaun was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last summer. “My world already feels dulled and blurred without her,” Ramos writes. “The urge to pick up the phone and FaceTime her is a reflex I can’t shake. Knowing the pain her husband, her parents, her loved ones, and her community are feeling right now makes me sick. I am angry. I am heartbroken. I am devastated.” Rashaun first appeared at age 24 on MTV’s The Real World Seattle: Bad Blood in 2016 and, the following year, returned to take part in The Challenge: Invasion of the Champions. For The Real World 2016-2017 “bad blood” season, in which Real World housemates were eventually joined by people they considered nemeses, Rashaun was paired with her ex-boyfriend Will. The synopsis for that season notes, “Ex-lovers Anika and Will go together like oil and water: The yin yang pair dated for three years, and during that time Anika was constantly annoyed that Will couldn’t match her dominance.” After the season ended, Rashaun, a New York City native, moved to Los Angeles and, building on the social media following she attained through the series, built a lifestyle brand that would eventually include matchmaking and dating advice. She remained cordial with Will, though lost touch after the show. In 2017, Rashaun returned to the MTV universe for The Challenge: Invasion of the Champions. She was eliminated in the third episode. Theo King-Bradley, who appeared in both of Rashaun’s seasons on Real World and The Challenge, posted a tribute on Instagram. “I’ve been doing everything else to keep my mind off the fact that you’re not here. I’ve genuinely been sad as hell since hearing you passed. I’m sad I didn’t get to see you one last time. But the last time and conversation we had with each other I can cherish and play it back in my mind to smile.” After her stint on The Challenge, Rashaun returned to her career as dating coach and lifestyle podcast host. According to her Instagram, she attended school to become a licensed marriage and family therapist. Rashaun married her boyfriend Kyle Rehn on Valentine’s Day this year. Complete information on survivors was not immediately available. |

Skydance is giving some employees the option of a voluntary buyout in a “one-time offer” as the company brings together Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery following the closing of their $110 billion merger. “As we bring our teams together, we recognize that not everyone will see their future here, and we respect that. To give eligible employees the option to move on in a way that works for them, we are introducing a Voluntary Buyout (VBO) Program,” co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz told staff in a memo. “Those who qualify will receive an individual communication with their personalized details and terms, and a window to decide whether to accept this one-time offer.” In addition to the voluntary buyouts, Skydance is also adopting a mandatory, in-office policy of five days per week. “We truly believe this is in the best interest of our company and our people. We’ve seen the benefits firsthand at Paramount, and we want every part of Skydance to share in them,” the pair added. “While many of you are already in the office five days a week, we understand this may be a significant change to the daily routines of others. To give you time to plan and adjust, we will take a phased approach by location. You will receive ample notice before changes take effect, and we will work closely with managers to support you through the transition.” The moves come as the company is targeting more than $6 billion in cost savings, which will include an unspecified number of layoffs. Skydance executives have said the majority of those savings will come from “non-labor” sources, such as rationalizing its real estate footprint and merging streaming tech stacks. “Please know we don’t take any of this lightly. We are clear about what we’re building: a company that tells the stories people around the world love, embraces new ways to connect with audiences, and leads the next era of media and entertainment,” Ellison and Kreiz said. “We have the talent, the creative firepower and the ambition to do it, and we will get there together. Thank you for your commitment, and for the creativity and passion you bring to your work every day.” Skydance Corp. (NYSE:SKYD) named six executives to lead its unified advertising business on Friday, following the $110 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger completed this month. Jay Askinasi, Skydance’s chief revenue officer for advertising, outlined the structure in a memo, Business Insider reported on Friday. The company’s combined portfolio includes Paramount+, CBS, Warner Bros., HBO, HBO Max and CNN. Danielle Carney will lead U.S. sales, while Jill Steinhauser will oversee ad partnerships. Christine Hong will head revenue operations, and Chris Brady will lead Skydance Media Labs, the report added. Ed Romaine will oversee ad marketing, while Evan Giamanco will lead product strategy and measurement. Steve Ellis will remain as chief operating officer for advertising, a post he has held at Paramount since 2022, and as integration lead. Lee Sears will continue to lead Paramount’s international advertising business while executives evaluate Warner Bros. Discovery’s international operations. Ryan Gould and Bobby Voltaggio, ad sales presidents at Warner Bros. Discovery, will "continue to partner" with Askinasi through the fourth quarter, the report noted. Advertisement "This team reflects how we intend to work: with clear ownership, fewer layers, and leaders who are close to the work," Askinasi told staffers, according to the report. He said the company will organize around how clients plan and buy, and use shared data to make faster decisions.

New "Battle" for New Networks... |
|
Roku today announced, "Battle of the Streaming Stars," a new competition series from Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, with Terry Crews set to host and executive produce. Roku has ordered two specials, the first launching on October 23 and the second in early 2027 exclusively on The Roku Channel. Nearly five decades after IMG's "Battle of the Network Stars" first brought television's biggest personalities together for an unforgettable clash of networks, "Battle of the Streaming Stars" brings the format into the streaming era. Comedians, actors, reality stars, and creators from audiences' favorite shows will trade the couch for the field, going head-to-head in larger-than-life challenges inspired by the shows and movies people love. In each hour-long special, three teams of four battle it out through several rounds in pursuit of a single prize: the Golden Roku Remote. Kay Adams will join the competition from the sidelines, bringing her sports expertise and on-camera energy to the action while capturing the strategy and smack talk. Yvette Nicole Brown will serve as the competition's referee, keeping the stars - and their rivalries - in check. Competitors in the first-ever "Battle of the Streaming Stars" will be announced in the coming weeks. "'Battle of the Network Stars' was an iconic celebration of television, bringing together the personalities audiences loved," said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Roku Originals, Roku Media. "With 'Battle of the Streaming Stars,' we're taking that spirit and reinventing it for how audiences stream entertainment today. Together with Peyton Manning and Omaha Productions, Terry Crews, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Kay Adams, we're bringing some of streaming's most entertaining personalities off the screen and onto the field for a competition that's big, funny, unexpected, and uniquely Roku." "Battle of the Network Stars' was must-watch TV in the 80s. We're excited to team up with Roku to bring that same concept back for the streaming era," said Peyton Manning, Co-Founder, Omaha Productions. "Terry, Yvette, and Kay are great, and you won't want to miss the stars battling it out for the Golden Remote." "'In the same spirit as the original series, anything can happen in "'Battle of the Streaming Stars". Some of the funniest, most competitive people in entertainment finally get to prove who's the best athlete in the room, and trust me, egos are going to get tested," said Terry Crews. "Coming together with Yvette, Kay, and the teams at Roku and Omaha Productions to create this show has been incredible, and I can't wait for people to see who takes home that Golden Remote." "Battle of the Streaming Stars" is produced by Omaha Productions with Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Colin Campbell, and Dan Gati executive producing. The project is overseen by Sean Boyle and Louisa L. Friedman on behalf of Roku Originals. Keith Geller serves as the showrunner. |

BBC Three Set to Shutter |
|
The BBC has confirmed it will shut down a host of linear broadcast services next year. Among those impacted are BBC Three, BBC Scotland and BBC Radio 4 Extra. The decision was made as the beleaguered corporation seeks to make cuts across the board in a bit to save £500 million by 2028 . “We need to make every pound work harder for audiences as we respond to the immediate cost pressures and reinvent the BBC for a changing world,” said BBC director-general Matt Brittin. “We all know that means tough choices.” “Much of the great content they currently carry will still be found where audiences already enjoy it on iPlayer and Sounds,” he said specifically of the shuttering linear services. “While this follows media speculation, I recognise the confirmation of this news will be hard for audiences and colleagues.” Content from BBC Scotland, BBC Three and Radio 4 Extra will still be available digitally, via iPlayer, BBC Sounds and YouTube. BBC Scotland will also continue as a standalone channel on iPlayer while some of its content will be available on local broadcasts of BBC One and BBC Two. |
